This article presents the difficulties Colombia is experiencing in the so-called post-conflict period and demonstrates that, in what was to be a transition to peace, the dynamics of conflict and violence persist. It examines the economic structures underlying the armed conflict and highlights problems that have hampered the securing of reparations for the victims. Finally, the article proposes guidelines for economic strategies designed to provide full reparations to the victims and concludes that, more than a sustainable economic model, it is necessary to strive for a restorative model with reparations covering damages to individuals, communities, and the environment.
